this  corporation  to  preserve  his  good  standing  as  a 
member  of  the  International  Typographical  Union  of 
North  America,  a voluntarv  association  (unincorpo- 
rated), whose  principal  office  is  located  at  the  city  of 
Indianapolis,  in  the  state  of  Indiana,  to  comply  with 
its  orders  and  regulations,  and  to  discharge  faithfully 
his  duties  and  obligations  thereto,  for  as  much  as  this 
corporation  is  sustained  by  the  members  of  that  union, 
and  for  as  much  as  the  objects  and  purposes  of  the  two 
bodies  are  similar  in  this,  to-wit : That  each  contem- 
plates the  {suppression  of  vice  and  immorality,  the  ad- 
vancement of  skill,  order  and  health,  and  the  promo- 
tion of  industry  and  happiness  among  and  in  the  craft 
of  printers. 

Sec.  2.  Any  member  of  this  corporation  who  shall 
have  ceased  to  be  a member  in  good  standing  of  said 
International  Typographical  Union,  or  who  shall  have 
otherwise  become  liable  to  expulsion  from  this  corpo- 
ration, shall  forthwith,  upon  the  occurrence  of  such 
delinquency,  be  notified  in  writing  of  that  fact  by  the 
secretary  of  the  corporation,  or  if  he  be  disqualified  by 
interest  or  refuse  to  act,  then  by  any  member  of  the 
board  of  Trustees.  Such  notice  shall  call  for  the  resig- 
nation of  such  delinquent  member.  If  the  member  so 
notified  be  not  within  thirty  days  thereafter  heard  from, 
he  shall  be  deemed  to  have  resigned,  and  the  proper 
officer  of  the  corporation  shall  thereupon  enter  on 
record  in  the  books  of  the  corporation  the  fact  of  such 
resignation,  and  shall  forthwith  proceed  as  hereinafter 
provided  for  the  filling  of  vacancies.  But  if  such  delin- 
quent member  upon  being  so  notified  shall  answer  that 
the  charges  against  him  are  not  true  or  that  he  refuses 


IO  INTERNATIONAL  TYPOGRAPHICAL  UNION. 

to  resign,  then  he  may  be  expelled  from  membership  as 
hereinafter  provided. 

Sec.  3.  Expulsion  of  a member  shall  be  by  a two- 
thirds  vote  of  any  regular  meeting,  or  any  special 
meeting  called  for  that  purpose,  at  which  a quorum  of 
the  members  is  present  in  person  or  by  proxy.  Any 
member  who  believes  that  any  other  member  has  by 
misconduct  become  liable  to  expulsion  shall,  as  a priv- 
ileged communication,  report  in  writing  his  reasons  for 
such  belief  to  the  Secretary,  or  if  the  Secretary  be  the 
person  who  is  so  delinquent,  then  to  the  several  mem 
bers.  If  the  Secretary,  or  otherwise  a majority  of  the 
members,  deem  the  reasons  so  stated  sufficient  to  war- 
rant an  investigation,  the  person  so  accused  shall  be 
notified  of  the  substance  of  the  charges  made,  and  shall 
be  requested  to  resign,  or,  upon  refusal,  to  be  prepared 
to  make  his  defense  against  the  charges  at  a time  and 
place  to  be  in  said  notice  named  : Provided , however , 
That  thirty  days’  time  be  given  between  the  filing  of 
charges  and  the  investigation  thereof.  At  such  meet- 
ing the  charges  made  and  the  answer  of  the  accused 
shall  be  fully  investigated.  Upon  the  conclusion  of 
such  investigation  a vote  shall  be  taken  on  the  ques- 
tion, “ Have  the  charges  made  been  sustained  ? ” If  the 
requisite  vote  be  cast  in  the  affirmative,  the  accused 
shall  thereby  be  deemed  expelled.  The  proceedings  of 
meetings  as  to  the  expulsion  of  members  shall  be 
strictly  private  and  all  communications  made  thereat 
shall  be  privileged. 

Sec.  4.  I£ach  person  upon  his  election  to  member- 
ship in  this  corporation,  and  as  a condition  precedent 
to  his  competency  to  enter  upon  the  discharge  of  his 
duties  as  such,  shall  appear  before  some  person  qualified

to  accomplish  more  readily  and  economically  the  pur- 
poses for  which  the  corporation  was  formed  ; and,

Fourth — That  such  other  functions  and  duties  may

eral design  of  the  corporation,  and  as  were  contem- 
plated in  its  original  organization,  but  defectively  pro- 
vided for  ; and

a means  of  effecting  the  same,  the  following  named

THE  CHILDS-DREXEL  HOME. 


19 


Whereas,  The  said  members  have  in  like  manner 
and  by  like  means  provided  an  endowment  for  said 
institution  or  home,  by  which  the  same  may  be  main- 
tained and  supported  ; and 

Whereas,  The  objects  and  purposes  of  said  Interna- 
tional Typographical  Union  and  of  this  corporation  are 
similar  and  alike  in  this,  to-wit  : That  each  contem- 
plates the  suppression  of  vice  and  immorality,  the  ad-

tion of  industry  and  happiness  among  and  in  the  craft

tained by  the  members  of  said  International  Typo-

United  States  and  Canada,  it  has  been  proposed  that 
this  corporation  take  in  trust  for  said  members  the  title

Childs-Drexel  Home  for  Union  Printers  to  exclude  there-

may  deem  it  inexpedient  to  admit,  contemplating  the

tions,  or  be  of  different  degrees  of  infirmity,  then  a 
preference  shall  be  given  (i)  to  the  afflicted  as  against 
the  infirm;  (2)  to  those  of  the  afflicted  to  whom  the 
greatest  probable  good  can  be  done  by  admission  as 
against  those  to  whom  a less  degree  of  good  is  probable  ; 
and  (3)  to  those  of  the  infirm  whose  infirmity  is  greatest.

the  behalf  of  other  crafts  and  orders.

and  happiness,  and  to  this  end  their  persons,  clothes 
and  apartments  shall  be  kept  clean,  and  they  shall 
hive  suitable  and  rational  exercise  and  recreation. 
And  as  to  the  character  of  this  exercise  and  recreation

taken  at  timely  hours,  and  shall  be  moral  and  temper- 
ate in  all  its  respects.  In  this  behalf  much  may  be 
suggested  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  said  corporation

institution,  and  it  is  recommended  without  being  made 
a duty  of  said  board,  that  landscape  gardening,  or  some 
similar  vocation,  be  undertaken  on  said  grounds  as  a 
source  of  exercise  and  recreation  to  the  persons  domi- 
ciled at  said  home.  But  no  task  or  duty  shall  ever  be 
imposed  under  the  guise  of  exercise  or  recreation  011 
any  inmate  of  said  home,  nor  shall  any  inmate,  officer 
or  servant  of  said  home  be  permitted  to  engage  in  any

iciled at  said  home.  Its  bounty  shall  be  unpurchasable  ; 
its  charity  shall  be  given  without  price  : Provided , how- 
ever, That  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  construed 
to  prohibit  any  person  from  making  to  said  home  an 
absolute  and  unqualified  donation. 

“ Twelfth — No  duty  shall  be  required  of  any  inmate  of 
said  home  except  the  duty  of  good  behavior  and  com- 
pliance with  such  rules  for  the  discipline  and  adminis- 
tration of  said  home  as  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  said 
corporation,  in  their  wisdom,  and  contemplating  the 
purposes  of  this  trust,  may  adopt. 

“ Thirteenth — Should  it  unfortunately  happen  that  any 
person  admitted  to  said  home  shall,  from  malconduct, 
have  become  unfit  longer  to  remain,  and  mild  means  of 
reformation  prove  futile,  such  person  shall  be  expelled 
therefrom. 

“ Fourteenth — The  death  of  any  inmate  of  said  home 
shall  forthwith,  upon  its  occurrence,  be  communicated 
by  telegraph  to  the  President  of  said  International

shall,  for  a proper  length  of  time,  be  held  waiting  the 
order  of  said  President.  But  if  no  response  be  had

garments,  and  a plain  but  neat  casket,  with  such  auxil- 
iaries as  may  be  requisite.  I^ach  grave  shall  be  appro-

dent of  said  International  Typographical  Union,  the 
place  of  burial,  the  cost  of  burial,  and  other  particulars 
useful  to  be  known  shall  be  recorded  in  a book  kept  for 
that  purpose  : Provided,  however , That  should  the  Board

of  Trustees  of  said  corporation,  or  the  civil  authorities 
having  jurisdiction  thereof,  deem  it  not  advisable  to  set 
apart  any  portion  of  the  grounds  of  said  home  for  ceme- 
tery purposes,  or  if  after  such  cemetery  has  been  estab- 
lished, either  said  board  or  said  civil  authorities  shall 
deem  it  expedient  to  abate  such  cemetery,  said  Board  of 
Trustees  may,  out  of  the  funds  of  this  trust  remaining 
unexpended,  procure  other  suitable  place  of  burial,  and 
in  so  doing  extravagance  shall  be  avoided,  to  the  end 
that  the  greatest  possible  amount  of  the  funds  of  this 
trust  shall  be  preserved  for  the  care  of  the  living. 

“ Fifteenth — If  at  any  time  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
said  The  Childs-Drexel  Home  for  Union  Printers  find  it 
to  be  impracticable  and  inconsistent  with  the  objects 
and  purposes  of  this  trust  to  maintain  as  a part  of  the 
grounds  of  said  home  so  large  a tract  of  land  as  that 
hereinbefore  described,  then  they  may  lease  or  sell  and 
dispose  of  any  part  of  said  land  not  exceeding  sixty 
acres,  as  they  may  deem  expedient:  Provided , ahvays , 
That  the  rents,  issues  and  profits  of  any  lease,  sale  or 
disposition  of  property  so  made  shall  be  forthwith  and 
wholly  turned  over  to  the  Treasurer  of  said  The  Childs- 
Drexel  Home  for  Union  Printers,  to  be  applied  to  the 
same  uses  and  purposes  as  are  herein  declared  of  and 
concerning  said  trust  generally.  If  the  sale  of  said 
sixty  acres,  hereinbefore  mentioned,  shall  have  been 
made,  and  thereafter  it  shall  be  by  said  Board  of  Trus- 
tees found  impracticable,  on  account  of  any  particular 
circumstances  of  the  location  of  said  home,  or  the  fail- 
ure of  endowment,  or  other  sufficient  reason,  longer  to 
maintain  said  home,  then  said  Board  of  Trustees  may 
sell  and  dispose  of  the  remainder  of  said  land,  and  the 
building  and  structures  thereon,  as  they  may  deem  ex- 
pedient: Provided , always , That  the  issues  and  profits 
of  such  second  sale  or  disposition  of  property  so  made 
shall  be  forthwith  and  wholly  turned  over  and  surrend- 
ered to  the  Treasurer  of  said  International  Typograph- 
ical Union  to  be  thereafter  used  as  said  union  may  direct. 
Any  deed  made  by  said  Board  of  Trustees  pursuant  of 


THE  CHILDS-DREXEL  HOME.  27 

the  authority  herein  conferred,  shall  contain  a covenant 
of  general  warranty. 

“ Sixteenth — None  of  the  moneys,  principal,  interest 
or  dividends,  and  none  of  the  property  of  said  trust  or 
the  rents,  issues,  or  profits  thereot,  or  acquired  or  arising 
by  virtue  of  or  incident  to  said  trust  or  the  administra-

appointed.

other  accounts  of  the  corporation,  shall  be  kept  by  said

separate  account  or  accounts  be  kept  in  bank  not  blended 
with  any  other  account,  so  that  it  may  at  all  times  ap- 
pear on  examination  that  the  objects  of  this  trust  have 
been  and  are  being  fully  complied  with.  And  the  said 
corporation  shall  render  a detailed  account  annually  to 
the  said  International  Typographical  Union  at  the  com- 
mencement of  its  convention  concerning  the  said  trust, 
home  and  funds,  and  shall  submit  all  their  books,  papers 
and  accounts  touching  the  same  to  a committee  of  said 
International  Typographical  Union  for  examination 
when  the  same  shall  be  required. 

'‘'‘Eighteenth — It  shall  be  the  duty  of  said  Trustees  to 
defend  the  title  at  law  in  case  of  any  suit  brought  re- 
specting the  title  to  the  real  estate  hereinbefore  de- 
scribed; give  notice,  if  it  maybe  useful  or  practicable, 
of  any  such  suit  to  the  said  International  Typographical 
Union,  or  its  proper  officers  keep  the  trust  property  in- 
sured in  good  companies,  using  trust  funds  therefor ; 
pay  out  of  the  funds  provided  all  taxes,  charges  and 
assessments  ; afford  accurate  information  to  said  Inter- 
national Typographical  Union  of  the  condition  and  dis- 
position of  the  trust  property;  if  not  possessed  of  all 
proper  information  to  seek  for  and,  if  practicable,  obtain 
it;  manage  the  home  and  care  for  the  inmates  thereof
